Why is there so many "bad" players?

Now, once seeing this you probably think i'm being an .. with a big ego but hear me out. I play alot of FPS games, have done for some time and it seems in this game everyone is either a child or just new to gaming in general?
I've been playing for 3 days now, within those 3 days I hit max on specialist and i'm around level 25 as the main rank thing. Within 3 days, and being completely new to the game with no prior experience I am dropping 40-50 kills a game (mainly in strike, blast and extraction modes) since i'm not really a fan of Galactic Assault, it's just not for me I guess.
I also have a job etc so it's not like i'm playing everyday all day, yet it seems i'm way above everyone else in skill (and once again I don't mean to sound like a ... with an ego). I understand playing video games isn't everyones passtime and so some players play less and have less experience resulting in not being as good, but this is like every game as least 3/4ths of the enemy team and my own team are just complete noob-like players?
I play specialist with hardened infiltration, which I know is currently one of the strongest perks in the game (at least in my opinion) but even still when playing Assault class the game just seems too easy, rarely I see other good players matching my kills in games. I understand kills is not everything and winning with playing the objective is important, but even when trying to play objective I feel you should be able to drop at least 10 kills per games, maybe even 15 - 20.
There have been multiple instances where i've been called out for cheating even though i've only played for 3 days. I understand if people are have a ***** game they use excuses like this but I don't even think i'm that great and yet people are calling me out for cheating etc.
I uploaded some gameplay so you guys can see for yourselves some of the enemies I get put against, it just isn't making sense to me as a brand new player, I thought i'd struggle with the game for some time before being a decent player but it seems that's not the case.

As said before, I don't mean to come of as an ... with a big ego, this is just my thoughts and experience with my first 3 days of playing.

I usually average around 30 and never usually go lower, if it's a good lobby it could be higher I think my highest was around 65. (i'm not sure if you're console player but if you are) I feel it's harder to play on console or maybe it's just I hate using a controller but I feel the game plays way differently on console, both in how players play and what they play with.
Yeah I'm on PS4, but there is people as good as you on PS4 cuz I see players with your types of stats every game almost anyway.
Some players just want to live out their Star Wars fantasies and could care less about PTO or being good.
In every fps I played before (cs, overwatch...), I was an above average player not amazing, just above your common player. On battlefront 2 if I officer on my own (with out friends or clan) I'm pretty much guarantied the top spot of the game and top 3/5 on any other class or most eliminations if I play a hero, so yeah people are weaker in this game.
Never tell me the odds. - Han Solo
Yeah I can get that but it just seems it's alot more common in this game compared to others
I'm not sure how the PS4 scene works or how the meta is etc but nice
Yeah just a personal thing i'm not a fan of the heroes, but GA became more bareable now the weekend cheap heroes mode has ended. Whilst that was on it was so boring for me, constantly dying to heroes the whole game lol
It is more common because a lot of SW fans, who don't play multiplayer games, will play this because it's a SW game.
Yep i have to hold my hand up and admit i'm one of those bad players, do I mean to be? No I don't, do I want to be No of why would i want to be bad at something.
I'm on PS4 and my internet connection is not always great resulting in quite a lot of lag or poor connections, but lets not kid myself I'm just not very good and I accept this, I don't play that often (i work and have to young children so getting time to play is limited), this is the only FPS game I have played online and this is the only FPS I have played in a very long time.
As a result I make very bad choices, I'll turn the wrong way, choose the wrong class, use a star card at the wrong time, concentrate on what is happening on the screen so much I forget to look at the radar, over heat my gun, try to roll away and roll into a wall or something that blocks me mid roll the list is endless. I'm just not good. I rarely get above 20 kills on a game and usual average anywhere from 1 to 15 on GA, Extraction or Blast.
I've watched countless videos on youtube on how to improve, tip 'n' tricks etc.. all very good and helpful but hasn't really made a huge difference to me.
As well as being bad I am also one of those people who seems to spawn into a seemingly safe place only to be mowed down 1 second later by someone, I get killed hiding behind walls somehow, If i'm moving in a large group of players and someone shoots or throws a grenade i'll be the only one killed, I always bump into Hero's even though i do everything to avoid them and the amount of times I pepper someone with shots (which hit)only for them to turn around and 1 or 2 shot me with ease and then see that they have a loads of health left is irritating to say the least.
But most of the time i enjoy playing, I can pick up a controller and play 20 mins before I go to bed, or if the Wife and kids our out i can play a few rounds on something with out getting bogged down in and all encompassing story game and it's freakin Star Wars.
So apologies for being one of those 'Bad' players, like i said earlier i don't mean to be and I am trying not to be but unfortunately i just am! Chances are if your on PS4 you have probably killed me at some point, but if you are really unlucky I may have killed you.
I am betting that you guys, like me, are focused on trying to enjoy an objective, team-oriented game. Just trying differentiate this game from simply another glorified death-match-like COD clone. As such, you sometimes have to take one for the team. You probably don't mind. You dont get the top of the leaderboards because you are in there in the middle of the juggernaut to trying to hold it (or take it) rather than dancing around on the periphery of the battle harvesting easy kills. Maybe you are actually that bad after all, maybe the game still doesn't give you an appropriate an award for PTO, but you ultimately dont care because the fun is in the team play not in being at the top of the leaderboard.

There is your answer. You have experience with FPS and let me guess, you care about your gear. If I watch your video, I can see, all your abilities are chosen for mouse. That make it more efficient. I did this too, I bought a mouse with three buttons on the left side. They are connected to my three abilities.
I bet there are a lot of players using the default settings.
Then I guess you care about the Dpi, your mouse pad and so on. Again I bet a lot don't adjust this that much.
That is my opinion.

Battlefield (and to a lesser extent GTAV) is the game I take overly serious and rage all night and grind my controller into fine black plastic powder from gripping so hard and every time I die is an insult to my manhood and my ancestors...
Battlefront is the game where I zone out to the scenery and the colors and music and look at the pretty lasers all over the place and if I die in an outrageous manner I'm ROFL instead of raging... Battlefront mercifully drops the pretense and doesn't take itself so seriously and there's a lot of intentional/unintentional humor on display (It helps for me at least that KDR isn't tracked in-game because I did rage quite a bit more over BF2015)...
Ironically, I'm so-so on a good day in Battlefield planes, but in Starfighter Assault I'm almost always at the top at the end... Go figure...
Sometimes the learning curve can be tough. What helped me was a suggestion on this forum. Work on headshot achievement in arcade, play 3rd person always, and when aiming at anyone (arcade inculded) aim higher than you think or feel comfortable. I was always aiming to low, you probably are too. My other piece of advice, I don't care if I die.... That's what makes me dangerous.
I play the objective, not for kills, I use a load out that supports my team and not just me (I use scrambled infiltration not hardened because it’s good for the team, especially in small modes). So often do I see a good player spawn killing or camping choke points just for the kills and their team loses because kills are more important to them.
I don’t understand why you are complaining surely coming in and wrecking us old Nerf herders is great for your ego! (I know you don’t mean to sound like a **** with an ego but you do!)
Perhaps if you’d got the game when it came out you would have found it more challenging as most of the players have moved on and it’s just us casual player/BF fans left now.
I am checking out your video and at 3:20 you overheat your weapon and have no back up weapons available. You are about to be killed and you magically shoot the guy who is about to kill you while in cool down.
You cheating bro? How do you explain that? And maybe now I can see why you want to stay on PC.
You are using the rapid fire ability PC gives you along with the power of sniper guns to effectively run and gun with the sniper class and therefore an effectively OP weapon.
Let’s see how you do over here on east coast US PS4. I am not impressed.
Then in some cases there is still the lag issue.
I didn't notice he was on cool down but did see his gun wasn't even pointing anywhere near the guy who died. Did someone else save his backside?

I don't know watched it again and seen times you get hit and you only lose less then 8 points at a shot that is real close from a cr2 which isn't really a single shot. but fast bursts... if you aren't throttling. you must be on a slow connection.. Its difficult to validate throttling which is cheating and just being on a crappy connection.. which isn't really cheating but sucks since they sdk is heavily favorable to slower connections.. but I can understand their point of view. saw you right next to a flame thrower and sorry you would be dead that close..
I love it
I've also nearly maxed out ever class now, and unlocked all the gun mods. My advice is if you are finding it really easy, be happy that you're a boss, or if the lack of challenge is getting dull change your mode, or your class, or your loadout. Try something different. Variety is the spice of life. Try some starfighter assault, it's actually one of the best modes in the game imo, but maybe I'm biased cus I'm actually pretty good at that one (I'm a die hard ace combat fan).
Creative limitations.
Limit what you will allow for yourself; like only make head shot kills, or as Undead Corsair said focus only on the objective.
How about be first to the objective and try to hold it by yourself until your team mates arrive? That would be a big challenge for a skilled player.
I've had the gun mods unlocked for ages and my regular troops have all hit 50 (officer 70). As much as I love the S-5's design, sound, and handling, I've started playing it with assault, heavy, and officers all having their default pistols (not done it with specialists as they only have one good close/mid-range gun). I've found it makes the experience feel a bit fresher, a bit more immersive, and also adds a bit more of a challenge.
I may have met you on a few maps. I do recall getting owned by someone using the stock weapons a couple of times ...
Its the noobs, I would average around 50 kills in blast to, Idk if your playing on console or pc but Ps4 tends to have better players overall that just ***** on everybody else. Me included since I consistlatnty top in ga geting around 70-80elims.
and with zero recoil so I dunno.....
Based off my average team, you'll be waiting a long long time for any team mates to show up.

You win the internet

I would like to see no cheaters in the cas ones and I am a cas player.
@Vehzx
I saw your video. It's funny, that I have about the same aiming and firing at the enemies, but they take less damage than your shots. So if it needs more effort to kill someone, for whatever reason, they will always be bad players.
I was responsible for over 90% of the escorting of the cart in extraction in one game I played, yet I was in the bottom 3 of the leaderboard.
this game rewards players for spam mainly. Sad.
Think I'll give this s**t a break until the new game mode is with us (and I'm not expecting too much from that). I'll load up, get the daily crate and play something else. Galactic Assault is so bad I might even reinstall Fortnite - which I got bored of after a f**king week. Or look at a magnolia wall for an hour or as that would also be more exciting.
